Origami-inspired metamorphous structures can adjust their shapes and mechanical behaviors according to operational requirements. However, they are typically composed of nonrigid origami, where required facet deformation complicates actuation makes them highly material dependent. In this study, we present a type origami structure modular bistable units, each which is rigid origami. The elasticity within the creases switching mountain valley crease lines enable it have bistability. resultant...

Predicting wheel‐terrain interaction with semiempirical models is of substantial importance for developing planetary wheeled mobile robots (rovers). Primarily geared toward the design manned terrestrial vehicles, conventional terramechanics do not provide sufficient fidelity required application on autonomous rovers.
